The silence that followed felt suffocating.

It pressed down on everyone in the room, heavy and unrelenting, as the weight of the newcomer’s presence settled into reality. The arrogance that once filled Isabella’s living room had cracked—just slightly—but enough to make the atmosphere unstable.

Isabella stared at the man standing beside Luca, her composure slipping for the first time.

“How is that possible?” she blurted out.

Her voice carried disbelief, sharp and unfiltered, cutting through the

    Back inside, the door had barely stopped vibrating from Luca’s exit when the tension finally snapped.Isabella slammed her hand against the table.The sharp crack echoed through the room, louder than it should have been, as if it carried all the frustration she had been suppressing.“This isn’t how it was supposed to go!”Her voice was no longer controlled. The elegance she wore like armor earlier had shattered, leaving behind raw anger and humiliation that twisted her expression.The photos were still scattered across the table.Proof.Accusation.Mockery.They stared back at her, unmoving.Alessandro stepped closer, his brows furrowed, though his tone was deliberately softer.“Calm down.”Isabella turned on him immediately.“Calm down?” she snapped. “Did you not see what just happened?”Her chest rose and fell sharply, her breathing uneven as she struggled to contain herself.“That worthless piece of trash just walked out like he won,” she continued. “Like he actually had the upper

    The room no longer held the same balance it had at the beginning.What started as arrogance and control on Isabella’s side had crumbled into something far more unstable—anger, disbelief, and a growing sense of humiliation she couldn’t suppress. The photos still lay scattered across the table, silent witnesses to everything she had tried to deny.No one spoke for a moment. Then—The negotiation collapsed. Abruptly. Completely.“This isn’t over,” Isabella said sharply.Her voice cut through the silence, laced with anger and wounded pride. She stood from her seat, her posture rigid, her gaze locked onto Luca as if trying to force him back into the position he used to occupy.Below her. Powerless. Controllable. But Luca didn’t move. He didn’t react.He simply looked at her—calm, distant, as though she no longer held any weight in his world.“It is for me,” Luca said.His voice was steady. Final. No hesitation..No emotion. Just an ending.The words landed harder than any insult she had thro

    The room fell into a suffocating silence the moment the file was opened.Every movement seemed louder than it should have been. The faint rustle of paper, the controlled breath of the newcomer, the subtle shifting of weight from one foot to another. It all built tension that pressed down on Isabella’s chest.Her eyes followed the lawyer’s hands.Slow.Precise.Unhurried.The man flipped to a specific section, then spoke without looking up.“Evidence of infidelity.”His voice was calm, but the words landed like a hammer.Before anyone could react—Photos slid across the table.One after another.Sharp.Clear.Undeniable.The glossy surface caught the light as they spread out, each image telling a story that couldn’t be twisted or denied.Isabella’s eyes dropped to them.And for the first time—Her expression changed.“…What is this?” she whispered.Her voice was no longer sharp. No longer controlled. It trembled.She picked up one of the photos, her fingers tightening around it as her

    The silence that followed felt suffocating.It pressed down on everyone in the room, heavy and unrelenting, as the weight of the newcomer’s presence settled into reality. The arrogance that once filled Isabella’s living room had cracked—just slightly—but enough to make the atmosphere unstable.Isabella stared at the man standing beside Luca, her composure slipping for the first time.“How is that possible?” she blurted out.Her voice carried disbelief, sharp and unfiltered, cutting through the tension.She looked between Luca and the man again, as if expecting the scene to suddenly make sense.It didn’t.Beside her, her lawyer lowered his head, his earlier arrogance completely gone.“I… can’t compete with him,” he admitted.The words came out strained, almost humiliating.A man who had just minutes ago spoken with absolute confidence now looked like he had been stripped of it entirely.Alessandro’s expression darkened instantly.“What do you mean you can’t compete?” he snapped. “You’r

    The tension in the living room thickened the moment Luca unlocked his phone, the faint click echoing louder than it should have. Isabella’s gaze sharpened, her fingers tightening slightly against the armrest. Alessandro leaned forward, eyes gleaming with anticipation, ready to tear apart whatever Luca thought he had.“Go on,” Alessandro sneered. “Show us your fantasy.”Luca didn’t respond. His thumb hovered over the screen—Then the door opened. The sound cut through the room like a blade.Everyone turned. A man walked in calmly.He moved with quiet confidence, his posture straight, his expression composed. His suit was immaculate, every detail precise, and his presence alone seemed to shift the balance in the room.Isabella’s lawyer froze. His eyes widened instantly.“T-That’s…” His voice trembled, words catching in his throat.His face turned pale.“My idol…”The word slipped out before he could stop it.Silence followed.Alessandro frowned, confused by the sudden reaction.“Who the

    The atmosphere in the living room tightened like a coiled wire, every second stretching under the weight of hostility.Isabella sat elegantly on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, her posture relaxed but her eyes sharp with contempt. Beside her, Alessandro leaned casually against the armrest, his lips curved in a faint, mocking smile. Across from them, Luca stood tall, unmoved, his presence calm yet suffocating.Between them, Isabella’s lawyer adjusted his glasses, a smug expression spreading across his face as he flipped through the documents in his hands.“Mr. Gray,” he said with a low chuckle, “false accusations have no legal value.”His tone dripped with condescension, as if he were addressing someone far beneath him.Luca’s gaze darkened slightly, his expression turning colder by the second.“You’ll regret saying that,” Luca replied.His voice was calm, almost quiet—but it carried a weight that made the air feel heavier.The lawyer scoffed, closing the file with a soft sna
